augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1064 Posts	Posted 12/19/2016 09:04 am Well, to be more helpful than the dude offering to write your essay for you, you can go on numista and basically see all the coins from a while back. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ro...e-uni-1.html Though I'm not sure what you mean exactly, the major change happened around 1969 when they changed to decimal coins, before that there wasn't much change for a long time. But maybe you mean in size/weight etc then there are differences that you can see. Report this Post to the Staff
Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 12/20/2016 1:32 pm The biggest change was in 1971, when British coins changed to the decimal system where £1 = 100p. Before that, the system was 12 pennies to one shilling, and 20 shillings to £1, giving 240d = £1. "d" was the old symbol for "penny". The old system had evolved slowly since the times of King Offa, in early Saxon times. A good start is wikipedia. Another useful source of information is Tony Clayton's website. If you google for "coins of the uk" you should find it. If you need more pointers to help you get started, just ask. Regards Report this Post to the Staff
